In a shocking turn of events, Max Cavalera, the legendary frontman of Soulfly and former Sepultura member, has shared his thoughts on what makes an artist a legend. Because, you know, we were all just dying to know what he thinks about this topic. 🙄 In an interview with Rock FM România, Cavalera stated that longevity, hardships, and a little bit of everything contribute to an artist’s legendary status. Wow, what a unique and not-at-all-obvious perspective. 🙃
But seriously, Cavalera’s comments do offer some insight into his mindset and approach to music. He emphasized the importance of staying level-headed and not getting a “big-headed attitude like a big rock star.” Which is great, because who doesn’t love a humble rock star? 🤷♂️ Cavalera also acknowledged that music is not the most important thing in the world, but believes it can still have a positive impact on people’s lives. Aww, thanks Max, you’re a real softie at heart. 🙏
Soulfly’s Upcoming Tour and Album
Soulfly is set to embark on a 25-date U.S. tour this fall, which will feature performances at various cities, including Dallas, Salt Lake City, and West Hollywood. Because who doesn’t love a good metal show in the middle of nowhere? 🤪 The tour will also include appearances by Nailbomb, a cult-favorite industrial sludge/crust punk outfit that Cavalera formed as a side project back in 1993. And because family is everything, Richie Cavalera’s band Incite will also be joining the tour. 🤜🤛
Soulfly’s thirteenth album, “Chama”, was released on October 24, 2025, via Nuclear Blast Records. Because who’s counting, right? 🤷♂️ The album was co-produced by Zyon Cavalera, Max’s son, and Arthur Rizk, who also handled the mixing and mastering. Because nepotism is alive and well in the music industry. 🙃
More Tour Dates and Album Details
Last fall, Soulfly completed the “Favela Dystopia” 2025 West Coast tour with Go Ahead and Die. Because who doesn’t love a good dystopian-themed tour? 🤖 The tour launched on November 1, 2025, in Roswell and concluded on November 23 in Flagstaff. And if you’re wondering what the album sounds like, just imagine a mix of heavy riffs, pounding drums, and Max Cavalera’s signature growls. 🤟♂️
In conclusion, Max Cavalera still exists, has opinions, and is still making music. Who knew? 🙃 If you’re a fan of Soulfly or just want to see what all the fuss is about, be sure to catch them on tour this fall. And don’t forget to pick up a copy of “Chama”, because who doesn’t love a good metal album? 🤘🎸
